That makes sense.  

My brain saw "80 Dora" so I was thinking it was a reference to a
different "explorer" and I couldn't see how she related to Dr Who.
Where's Waldo would have since it has a different interrogative in it.

Think Dr. Who.  

If you're not into Dr. Who...[I used to be in college] Dr. Who is a
"Time Lord".  Now take "8" and place it on it's side.  Infinity.  Time
reference AND the logo adopted for Fedora a couple years ago.

Hopefully this will get Auto Negotiation going again for you!

All Hail Galaxar........Rich in Lilburn
